I woke up early today to vote. Actually, I didn't get any sleep I was so excited. I had to come into work by 830, so I was the first one to cast my ballot at the St Pius X precinct. It was easy, and I felt real good about it. I texted about 30 people telling them "i voted" got my little sticker and went back home for a few more minutes of sleep before going to work...

Its going to be a wonderful day...

Voted at Kiser at 7:30. No line, just a lot of people dropping off their kids.

Voted Thursday night at Leonard Rec Center. No lines and lots of young voters! I got excited watching them. We ought to go to Denver for the convention, Doug. History in the making and it looks like it's gonna be one hell of a fight.

I voted this morning about 7:50am at Bluford Elementary School, (G74) one of the largest voting precincts in Guilford County. There was a line but it moved along and I was out of there by 8:15 ... I am very excited about the North Carolina primary elections being over and moving forward to the candidates and the General Election.

I took some members of my Mom's Sunday School class to their polling place in southern Alamance County (Eli Whitney Recreational Center) - some problems or confusion there concerning two older black women who appeared to be voting for the first time. They claimed they had registered as "unaffiliated" but apparently were given ballots for "independents" which did not allow them to vote for Obama. When they complained, they were told nothing could be done since they had already voted. These two women appeared confused and disappointed.

Voted at Brown Community Center, easy in and out, but was amazed at the black turnout. They are loving them some Obama. It's sad that we have to choose between a woman and a black man as our next president, really sad! The people in this country don't understand the crap that went on when Clinton was in the White House and then the blacks only see color when they look at Obama and I guess they are all giddy about it. Our next president will be one of these two and that's really sad the direction we are going here. If people think there will be all these changes, get real. Open your eyes!

When I registered to vote, lo these many years ago, the only "primary" of any importance in North Carolina was the Democratic primary. Republicans rarely ran more than one candidate for any given office. Therefore, I registered as a Democrat so I could vote in the primary and have never changed my affiliation.

This morning, after casting my vote for President, I was able to hold it together long enough to get outside, where I promptly "blew chunks" all over the church shrubbery!

Couldn't wait to vote for the first woman for president. Walked right in about 11:00.
